I haven't crunched F@H in a few years. I could use my GPU but I dont think that I want to screw around installing F@H since I'm already crunching BOINC on my quad. I'll stick with BOINC and hope that the other non-BOINC projects will eventually get onboard and start using BOINC as well In a rich man's house there is no place to spit but his face.

4 cores for SETI, 1 core for CPDN I've tried ABC and some others, but these are the most consistent with generating WUs. And they're causes that I can believe in. |

But that's five cores. I wasn't aware that they were producing penta-core CPUs. |

50% for Seti 25% for Orbit 25% for Einstein Orbit rarely has work so it usually gives its time to the other two. I used to run Seti classic and when BOINC first came along it had all sorts of teething problems so I went off for a couple of years. I came back at the beginning of this year, but only run BOINC stuff on the farm. BOINC blog |

100% Boinc Settings 40% SETI 20% Rosetta 20% CPDN 20% Orbit (No credits Yet) Folding? - is that some sort of origami? LOL |

BOINC only. I was shocked as I read the BOINC related toppics at the Folding forums. In my opinion they did not looked objective at the capatibilities of BOINC and the forum Mods stall any discussion about BOINC. Got there the impression that the Folding peoples think that BOINC is devilishly. So I boycott Folding and crunch also some BOINC protein related projects, too. |

I've seen similar topics on Folding's forums too, particularly back when there was a huge uproar about BOINC when it was first introduced and you had plenty of naysayers complaining that BOINC wouldn't last long and it was going down. I often wonder if any of them ever took the chance to re-review BOINC and all it has to offer, or if they truly are the close minded people they make themselves out to be. |

1 F@H on the GPU 4 BIONIC's SETI and LHC, Turned off Protein and Rossetta until they get me 64bit SSE 4.1 apps, and also Astropulse! Can't compile your BIONIC app 64bit I am not going to pay the eletric bill for yor project. 24x7 most of the time. They don't impact each other as you would initially think. -R |

Can't compile your BIONIC app 64bit I am not going to pay the eletric bill for yor project. For which OS are you not able to compile the BOINC client or the science applicaiton 64 bit ? - Do you know the BOINC/SETI third party page ? - There are offered BOINC client and SETI/Astropulse applications for a lot of different OSes and platforms. |

1 F@H on the GPU On my rigs SSSE3 has proven to be just a tad bit better than 4.1 anyway....... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

Please note that the proper name is BOINC, not BIONIC. |

I be a Seti only kinda cruncher..........although I have tested the waters elsewhere, I have always returned. Same here, But then I just like to Boinc on and on, If I wanted a Fold System, I'd be going somewhere, from A to B(Earth to Mars and Back). ;) The T1 Trust, PRR T1 Class 4-4-4-4 #5550, 1 of America's First HST's |

Just curious: should the results of this thread really be considered scientific being at its posted at the largest BOINC project so naturally its going to have a skew in favor of BOINC users? |

Which do you crunch more of SETI or folding? Or more generally, BOINC or folding? Why? SETI - yes, Folding - no. BOINC only because I like everything controlled by the same client. Even if Folding@home worked under BOINC I wouldn't crunch it because I favor the Astronomical science projects over the Medical science. me@rescam.org |
